K-Def's "Sneak Shot" EP is COMING SOON ON VINYL/DIGITAl (features this Seven Shawn freestyle plus 5 instrumentals!)
Video shot in June 2012 in Passaic, NJ by JNOTA & Dan Love, Edited by JNOTA.
Equipment Used: Sony Nex 5N digital camera + Final Cut Studio 7
"Sneak Shot" is a 1 minute freestyle by Seven Shawn (formerly of World Renown) over a quick beat that producer K-Def looped up back in 2002. K recently dug it up while going through his old hard drives, and we all decided to shoot a video for it. Sample hounds will recognize the familiar loop and MCs will notice that Shawn is having fun and improvising on the mic. The video was produced with the same technique, AKA "we had no plan" and just ran around NJ with a camera on a rainy day in June.
DOUG follows up his popular video 'A Trip' with a Stephen Hawking on THC Space/Time record, 'The Vast'. With a warp-speed flow, and detailed rhyming patterns, DOUG (a.k.a. Middle DOUG) exhibits an original styling over his self-produced beat. 'The Vast' is based on the scientific theory that we see the past (time) of an object that is millions of miles away. With that, DOUG posits that our memories are forever stuck in the ethos that we call 'space'. Using DOUG's trademark style of sampled public domain footage and low-def home video, he creates another dope visual backdrop to his space/time themed record.
